Very nice, but how about one with Europe in focus.

Have to get ESA rather than NASA to take that picture!

I still reckon that the original
Blue Marble image, taken by the Apollo 17 crew, has the most 'wow' factor!

sadly it is not a usable texture.
Don't know, does NASA provide some "unfolded" Earth (and other planets) textures ?

No-one “took” the picture, it’s a composite. There aren’t any cameras that good that far out. :-)
